Abstract:
While smartphones are closely intertwined with our daily lives, with their influence expanding as their use has become more popular, security threats such as leak of personal information, illegal billing, and sending of spam using malicious apps that cause damage to smartphone users and give rise to social problems are also increasing. To solve such problems, security companies, research institutes, and academe worldwide are developing technologies to detect and cope with mobile malicious apps. Note, however, that malicious apps are also becoming more intelligent and elaborative to increase survivability by bypassing the existing detection means and countermeasures. As such, this paper describes the techniques of mobile malware to evade dynamic analysis and proposes measures to enhance emulators to incapacitate such analysis evasion by Android malicious apps.
